Looking at historiography and methodology for the risks of Eurocentrism and presentism, this essay reflects on the study of the history of religion in the two decades of the Journal of Early Modern History’s life to date. It first counts the locations of the subjects of the Journal’s articles, both generally and specifically on religion, to measure patterns in geographical focus. Considering the language these articles use to describe religion, the essay then draws a contrast between treating religion on its own terms and adapting a more analytical, though invasive, approach. Andrew Gow’s emphasis on continuity between the medieval and the early-modern inspires a late-traditional perspective that avoids both eurocentrism and presentism.

早期现代历史杂志中的宗教地理和方法论

本文着眼于欧洲中心主义和当下主义风险的史学和方法论，反思了《早期现代历史杂志》迄今为止的二十年间对宗教史的研究。它首先计算期刊文章主题的位置，无论是一般性还是特定性的宗教，以衡量地理焦点的模式。考虑到这些文章用来描述宗教的语言，这篇文章在用自己的术语处理宗教和采用更具分析性但更具侵略性的方法之间进行了对比。Andrew Gow 对中世纪和早期现代之间连续性的强调激发了一种避免欧洲中心主义和现代主义的晚期传统观点。[作者摘要] Journal of Early Modern History 的版权是 Brill Academic Publishers 的财产，未经版权所有者的明确书面许可，不得将其内容复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个站点或发布到列表服务。但是，用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。本摘要可能会有所删节。不保证副本的准确性。用户应参考材料的原始出版版本以获取完整的摘要。（版权适用于所有摘要。）用户应参考材料的原始出版版本以获取完整的摘要。（版权适用于所有摘要。）用户应参考材料的原始出版版本以获取完整的摘要。（版权适用于所有摘要。）
